Chargers 2nd-round pick Forrest Lamp suffers torn ACL

The Los Angeles Chargers spent their early picks in the 2017 NFL Draft trying to make quarterback Philip Rivers’ life easier, from a big-time pass-catcher in Clemson’s Mike Williams to a pair of stud blockers for the interior of their offensive line.

But on the heels of Williams dealing with a potentially serious injury of his own, second-round pick Forrest Lamp was dealt a painful blow on Wednesday, suffering a torn ACL (per multiple reports):

Forrest Lamp looked like a second-round steal and a potential starter for the Chargers' OL.

By all accounts, Lamp was already looking like a steal during early training camp action, hoping to help solidify the Bolts up front. Instead, it looks like the Chargers could be starting a new era in the City of Angels without their top-two picks from this year’s draft for a significant stretch of time.
